That was my point - we didn't get relegated! Would we have? Who knows, but I'm glad that he was out of the way, and would welcome his departure.
I kept hearing about him not being fit, Billy, but I reckon that's a lot of old Fanny. All he proved in the first season was that he can play for a side in the lower regions of the Premier. To me, that is his level. That and promotion hunting in the Championship. I want something better for our club, hence my desire to see the back of him. Plus we got well ripped off with the fee!
The strange thing about Fletcher is the few goals he got with his head, I seem to remember he was highly rated in this department, but he did score some great one touch goals and you don't lose that skill, I say give him a chance next season, if he fails then move him on in January, same with Josy unless of course we get offers for them which we cant refuse, some hope.
Immaculate post, although I would keep Borini, on the basis he's scored those goals NOT playing as a striker. That actually makes his return incredibly impressive, and I think he's bonded with the club. He had a dip after the cup final, as did many, but he has bust his knackers last 6 weeks, and I like the lad.
Haven't forgotten those pictures of him allegedly spitting on the back of the driver of a horse drawn carriage. Obviously nowt to do with football, but running a football club is a business and part of that means having wealthy sponsors. Anything or anyone that reflects negatively on our club is a no for me. I'm not asking for angels, just players with a bit of nous about them.
Aye I remember that. If it'd been on the back of Steven Taylor the cockney twat it'd be fine though!!
